Elevate Your Business Strategy With Lean-Oriented HR Solutions
Transform your people processes with our hands-on (Player), Lean-based HR and organizational improvement services (Coach), tailored for businesses in Colorado and Wyoming.
HR Process Improvement for Tangible Business Results
Welcome to Player-Coach HR, where we provide businesses with reliable and pragmatic HR solutions that impact business results. Our player-coach model refers to an individual who serves as both a player on a team and a coach for that same team. This dual role is relatively rare, as it requires balancing the responsibilities of competing in the action while also guiding and influencing the team.
We work alongside your team to uncover and address the underlying issues affecting your business, not just surface-level symptoms.
Our HR process improvement methods optimize your workflow, reduce bottlenecks, and improve your daily operations — enhancing the lives of your team while driving measurable business outcomes.
What we offer:
- Lean HR solutions for small-to-medium sized businesses in Colorado and Wyoming
- Specialized solutions for Manufacturing, Private Schools, Wellness Professionals, and more
- Scale-Up Support: Upgrading your processes and tools to facilitate growth
- Job and Compensation Architecture: Systematically address compensation issues
- Compliance and Risk Management: Operationalizing regulatory and legal requirements
- Conflict Support: Getting teams to the heart of the matter and resolution
- Leadership Development and Coaching: Meaningful insight and methods
- Hands-On HR Project Management: Working as that ever-critical pair of hands you need
